Supply from tap water:
Periodically check the resistance coefficient , whenever there is abnormal change in
resistance coefficient,it is necessary to comprehensively check all other components each
time..
Every time when the proximate content of water is greatly changed and it is possibly to have
affect on treatment,then you should request the quality assurance division of Harbin
Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation to examine the operation condition of deionized water.
Water from water sources
Maintenance is the same as that of city water source.
However, the water quality must be checked to make comparison with the quality of city
water supply, particularly, if there is suspended foreign matters in the water,then it is
necessary to filter the water

USE OF WATER

1 Use of Cleaning Water


1.1 For different water use methods, see Fig. 1
(1) Indoor water consumption;
(2) Demineralized water consumption ;
(3) Circulating demineralized water;
(4) Prior to supply, demineralized water stored in container (method to prevent water
T T T T

from pollution)

Fig. 1

1.2 General rules of cleaning


There are two types of cleaning:
Intermediate cleaning to prevent one kind of tank solution from entering the following tank
solution:
Final cleaning, which is use to prevent polluted components from sediment on dry
operational parts,and to stop parts from being further treated.
1.2.1 Intermediate cleaning
With a part taken out of the treatment tank, according to the following conditions, the
part will trend to have residual liquid to some extent.

Their forms are as follows;


Their surface roughness;
The flow velocity of liquid.
In order to prevent one kind of tank solution component from entering the following
treatment tank, there must be a cleaning process between treatments.
However removal of pollution is thorough and is dependant on cleaning operation.
In accordance with concentration treatment tank solution, the connectors and
installation accessories on parts will be evaluated using following calculation values:
Volume of rinsing tank;
Discharging cycle of neutralization tank;
Flow of replaced water in flowing cleaning tank ;
Quantity of polluted element brought to the following treatment tank.
Lets take two treatment tanks 1 and 2 as example,their volumes are V1 and V2 B B B B

separately,and two tanks are separated by a cleaning drum R with volume V .

concentration C in tank 1,and at the same time, and in tank 2,there is only element 2
with concentration C in tank 2.
Two types of rinsing are considered;
1) Rinsing in an indifferent tank (Fig.2 Detail A)
Rinse parts with a time interval △,and increase the concentration △C of one
element in immersion each time;
The concentration of 1 in the rinsing tank is increased to the maximum allowable
concentration in accordance with following assumptions,if this concentration is
exceeded;the tank solution must be replaced;
Polluted component concentration the instantaneous variation in the rinsing tank will
be the sum of the following items:
VdC=S P dt C1B B -S P dt C
Elimination of polluted component caused by residual matters
Pollutant retained on parts
Thus, following equation is obtained:
dc
V +SpC=SpC
dt
The general expression for concentration element 1 in the rinsing tank is:
SP
C=C [1-exp( t) ]
V
Where: t=Operating time of rinsing tank
p=Volume of attached tank solution 1 on one square meter area of a part.

s=Rinsed surface area.


Therefore, the formula can be roughly simplified into:
SP
C=C-1 t
V
Therefore,when taking parts out of the rinsing tank,each rinsed part is attached with
a water volume p,and such kind of water contains element 1 with concentration C.
Concentration variation of element 1 in the rinsing tank solution is shown in Fig.2
Detail B.
2) Rinsing in a flowing tank solution (Fig.3 Detail A)

Fig. 3 Detail A

Fig. 3 Detail B
The rinsing tank solution shall be continuously replaced with clean water D( which
shall be equal to the volume of polluted and lost water).
Concentration variation of element 1 in the rinsing tank solution is shown in Fig.3
Detail B
rinsing tank element 1 concentration Concentration of element 1 in the rinsing tank is
given using following formula

SP
C=C1 D [1-f(t)]
B B

With “t” increased, the f (t) rapidly tends to zero.


When “t” is high enough, contaminant caused by retention on parts may be considered
that all is removed by replaced fresh water.
At this moment, the concentration expression of element 1 in No.1 tank will be:
SP
C = C1
D
- When a part is taken out of the rinsing tank, it has P liters of water/m2, and concentration P P

of water with element 1 contained is C.


After a time “t”, the element 1 is will be found in No.2 tank, of which the concentration
will be given by the following formula:
2 2
SP
C1 = C1 t

For example:
Tank 1: Sulfur- chromium acid of 300g/l H2SO4 B B B B

Flowing water rinsing tank: replacement water flow is 0.1 m3/h. P P

Tank 2: Chromium anodization


Surface area to be treated with fluid: V1=V2=20m3 B B B B P

Surface area to be treated per hour: S=8m2 P P

Hold-up: =0.2 l/m2 P P

The concentration of H2SO4 in the fluid of the rinsing tank: 5g/l.


B B B B

The concentration of H2SO4 in the fluid of chromium anodization tank: 5g/l.


B B B B

C1=3.8414t·g/I
P P

After 1300 hours of operation, sulfuric acid content will reach the limit (0.5g/l).
1.2.2 Final rinsing
The water used for final rinsing should be the water dripped from the fluid of tank, of
which the concentration of contaminated water should be lower than the extreme limits
specified in the specific document.
It can be obtained by any of following methods:
To increase the rate of liquid to be replaced in tank;
To carry out rinsing by using spray water.

2 Check When Removing Seals


— In removal of seals, care should be taken not to damage chamfers on the supporting
elements or seal support faceted pebble.
— It is required to use the specified tools to install and remove various kinds of seals.
— If there is leakage, replace seals in turn and check condition of seal support faceted
pebbles.
— Before reinstallation of seals, it is necessary to ensure parts seals and tools are clean.
— check causes of leakage:
• Seals:Cracks, deformation or cutting
• Seal retainer:Ceramic material - check for drop-off or convex edges. Metal material -
check for roughness, dents scratches.
— In installation of seal, check that it is not able to turn.
— Before installation if seal is collided with cusp edged surface, it may be damaged during
installation.
3 Allowable Leakage
— Slight leakage generally indicates seals have a good lubrication:If operation is carried
out under a dry environment, rotating or vibrating seals will be damaged very soon due
to abrasion.
— In operation, some rotary seals (graphite, magnetic, corrugated pipes) must allow for a
smooth operation.
— The standard for allowable leakage is specified in aircraft maintenance manual.

a) Prior to installation of magnetic seals,clear away foreign matters on sealing retainer
surface. It is necessary to remove bars on chamfer near the seal support boss.
b) Whenever possible, assembling of magnetic seals must be carried out in the clean and
dust free room.
c) After taking seals out of sealed pack,separate rotating elements (airtight retainer) from
non-rotating magnetic ring .
Caution:In order to prevent fitting surface of seal from damage,and sliding of
retainer on magnetic ring is not allowed.
Note: It is required to prevent magnetic rings from being set in a place where metallic
particles are absorbed (chips etc.).
d) Installation of magnetic ring
Cover the properly polished surface using a clean and lint-free cloth,and use hand to fit
the magnetic ring to a sleeve or retainer.
Caution:The magnetic ring can not be reversely installed:Check if its installation
position is correct.
e) Installation of airtight retainer
It is prohibited to use hand hammer to install a thread airtight retainer unit:Impact may
damage seal,causing leakage too early.
Caution:The retainer should be firmly fixed too prevent magnetic attraction
between two seals which may cause a collision between two surface, to
protect the graphite surface airtight retainer from damage.
When installing new seals, before element being separated, impregnate them in hydraulic
oil for 10min.
3 Removal
It is better to use hands to remove a magnetic ring or seal from the retainer,as using a
hammer or any other impact tool may cause crack or damage magnetic ring or O-ring

c) Gently press down the wire stripper,to fix cable on the wire stripper edge (the
cable should be positioned in right angle with knife blade) (2)
d) Check the length of cable being stretched out of knife blade, which should the
same as stripped length.
e) When gradually increasing the pressure on wire stripper,use a knife blade to
circularly cut insulating sheath,and then pull it down the cable,until it is
completely removed (3~4).
3) Stripping with a knife (see detail C in Fig.1)
For cables to be stripped using only one knife,carry out operations as follows :
a) Cut a shallow circular notch.
b) Cut a deep longitudinal notch in the range of length to be stripped.
c) Use the knife point to fold the longitudinal notch edge,and then cut the circular
notch deeper,so as to tear the sheath down.
d) Check the cable condition (No damage to wire core is allowed).
3.2 Crimping of terminal lug (Fig.2)
3.2.1 General
Lug used for crimping will be performed using a special crimping wire stripper
designed by the lug supplier.
In each type of wire strippers,no matter manual or automatic,there is one set of wire
strippers that are in different sizes and suitable for a specific type of lug.
3.2.2 Operation of crimping wire stripper:
a) Identify lugs to be crimping
b) Select a proper wire stripper.
c) Put a lug in the wire stripper,the end of wiring terminal on joint face edge should be
aligned with dead center of wire stripper.
d) Connect the cut end of stripped cable to the wiring terminal.
If stripped length is correct (detail b)
— The cut end of cable shall be aligned with interruption device provided on the lug ,
to so that ensure the core on lug joint face is 0.8 to 1.6mm longer (it depends on
cross-section of cable )
e) Gently clamp the wire stripper,so as to fix the lug in stead of bending it.
Note: The cable of 0.38mm2 cross-section has a thin insulating covering with external
P P

diameter roughly the same as the internal diameter of wiring terminal, and
therefore insulating covering can be connected to the wiring terminal,and can be
crimping-joined instead of cable metallic core (for the detail, see Fig. a).
To prevent this defect,ensure :

20-02-01-410

BINDING OF CABLE

1 Binding Procedure
1.1 Direct laying (see detail A in Fig.1)
Use strap to wind the cable by two turns, so that after the strap closed, the sideward
movement of the strap can be avoided, and then rotate the drum of tool, until the strap is
tensioned through a control tool just before the strap being closed, and over-tension must
be prevented. If such phenomenon occurs, it is necessary to cut and take the damaged
strap from drum,and never use the narrowed strap.
Binding should be normally carried out with a spacing of about 100mm (4 inches),if the
wire reel is big enough to ensure a proper binding of cable,then it carried out with a
spacing of 75mm (3 inches).
Note: Upon strap “disengaged”, the strap will not be able to slide along the reel, so after
“disengagement” of strap, it is required to firmly pull the strap, then lift up and lay
it on the loose hopping reel.
1.2 T-connector (see detail B in Fig.1). Let the strap pass under the leg of the T- connector,
cross below the opposite leg on top and,and close at top of the T- connector as described
above.
1.3 End plate (no connecting method available) (see detail C in Fig.1).
When it is disengaged at the end plate,no connection is required, and it is necessary to
use a 3mm polytetrafluoroethylene spiral wrapped as specified. If there is a gap,i.e. some
joint bolts need not to be connected, break-away point of cable should be properly
adjusted.
Item (1):Vertically cut two turns.
Item (2):3 mm polytetrafluoroethylene tape
1.4 Break-away point of single cable (no connecting method available) (see detail D in Fig.1)
For break-away point of single cable or very small bundle,the break-away point on each
side needs about 2 turns of 3 mm polyfluoroethylene spiral wrapping.
1.5 End plate termination and single cable breaking-away
When the method described in above paragraph1.3 or 1.4 is used,it may appear more
suitable for the area, where larger plate and shied cable join is involved.
1.6 Add cable plate and cable assembly to the existing rack
When cable pivot and cable assembly are overlap laid and fixed in proper position on
aircraft,for example,in case a complete set of work accessories is installed,and fixed to
the basic rack cable pivot,and cable bundle is bound together between connectors,the
existing extra connecting wire shall be cut away and a standard 75~100mm(3 ~4 inches)
allowance should be left on the combined cable assembly.

from one side can be used instead, the procedure is as follows:
1.1.1 Diameter of sleeve
Select the diameter so as produce a layer of satisfactory cover, and in case 10mm gluing
is used, it will produce a minimum overlapping layer.
1.1.2 Length of sleeve
Select the length of sleeve, so that when there is no graphic symbol for locating, 10mm
joint free sleeve can be allowed.
1.2 Procedure
1) Longitudinally print replacement sleeve to be cut, then wrap the cable assembly to
ensure a satisfactory overlapping layer.
2) Except for the case of wrapping around cable assembly using a tape, the gluing method
will be used fix the sleeve to a proper position (as per Para.1.1.2)
3) If the clearance between joints exceeds 25mm, except for adhesion point (item b), lap
position should be fixed with adhesive.
In the curing process of adhesive, supplementary joint method or other proper methods
should be used so as to apply pressure to the whole lap length
When the fixing process with adhesive is over, it is required to clean the supplementary
joint places.
Note: The above procedure is not necessarily applicable to individual equivalent sleeve of

SHIELD OF CABLE

1 Prevention of Induction Coil during Cable Shielding Cables


1.1 General
1) If shield slabs are connected together from each end of shield slab,or each end is
grounded, an induction coil will be formed in the line (see detail A in Fig.1).
2) In order to ensure cable shield is completely efficient, the induction coil must be
avoided.
When handling the shield cables,the following preventive measures must be observed.
Note: This standard is not applicable for radio frequency coaxial cable.
1.2 Procedures
a) All shield slabs must be connected to shielded juncture only at one end.
b) All shielded junctures must be in compliance with requirements in paragraph 4.
c) One shield slab and more or one group of shrouding can be connected to one shielded
juncture.
d) If a circuit needs a continuous shielding via a plug and socket circuit breaker or via
terminal plate circuit breaker, it can be obtained by using adjacent pin or lug (See
Fig.2A).
e) Shield slab on DC ground plate or AC ground plate are not necessarily to be grounded.
f) For AC or DC circuit, when a signal returns or ground returns,it is not necessarily to
use shield slab.
g) In order to prevent float grounding,when equipment is connected with equipment,it is
not allowed to connect the shield slab to the joint on the equipment. Likely it is
prohibited to connect the shield slab into plug sleeve.
Note: Fig.1 (detail B) and Fig.2 (details A and B) illustrate the recommended shield
method.
— If an induction coil is not formed, separate property can be combined as required, and
according to the special installation requirement,most of them can be determined.
— If the existing equipment has already been internally connected to grounding which is
used for AC or DC,then any induction coil produced is bound to be reduced to a
minimum degree.
— In order to limit possible interference to a local area, the outside of equipment needs to
be specially arranged.

3.1.2.2 Window shaped orifice connected opening (see detail D in Fig.1)


— In case shielded wire can not be connected in connecting sleeve due to the total
size,then the joint should be arranged outside the sleeve .
— In order to prevent the same place from being risen too much,for all wires,the
sleeves should be provided alternatively at point of 80mm of one wire, and at
point of 120mm of next wire.
— Cut endless groove.
— Remove the sheath,to make one opening of 6~7mm.
— If the sheath can not be disconnected from braided layer,the following
procedures should be used:
• Cut two grooves,with spacing of 6~7mm.
• Cut two symmetric bevel grooves.
• One opening (1) is obtained by removing the insulating layers of these two,then
heat shrinkable pipe(1) shall be installed on shielded wire(2).
3.2 Assembling the connecting wire and sleeve
— Fix the connecting wire and sleeve on the wire.
Note: The connecting wire should be stretched out of “big diameter” end of the sleeve.
— Put the assembly part in reflector of heating system.
— Start machine and pay attention to the following matters:
• Boiling of soldering flux,it should not be confused with melting of soldering joint.
• Sheath starts to shrink.
• Melting of plastic ring.
— Continue to heat, pay attention the moment when the soldering liquid wetting the wire,
the wire will present a glossy appearance
Note: Destruction of ring at the beginning of heating stage does not indicate melting of
flux.
— As the sleeve shrinks, it will cause material of seal ring to flow out, and the blue or
white out flowing should not be scraped off.
— As soon as the above operation is completed, move the assembly part immediately
away from reflector.
Note: The heating time varies with the property of sleeve and wire in use.
3.3 Final assembling (see detail E in Fig.1)
— Unless otherwise specified, the wire should form a ring as shown in detail E.

INSTALLATION OF CABLES

1 Installation of Cable Bundle


1.1 General
The instructions provided below is about preventive measures should be taken for
installation cable bundles.
1.2 Cable bundle
1.2.1 Combination and laying of cable bundle (see detail A in Fig.1)
— In order to be easy in installation and maintenance,cable bundle should be
comprised of cables in parallel to each other. Wrapped cable or cable extended out
of wire bundle is prohibited.
— Generally, all unshielded strand cable should be arranged outside the wire bundle.
— Cable (3) should be at least 150mm away from equipment (1) of pipe. If the distance
can not be ensured, then, the distance of from pipe to determined (2) cable edge can
be reduced to 50 mm.
Note: For determination of this distance,the pipe connection and sleeve should not be
taken into consideration.
— Coupling sleeve should be installed in cross hole of wire bundle. A fixing clamp
should be used to clamp the wire bundle together, and then use the same clip for
installation. The maximum distance between structural connecting points should be
600mm.
— For two or more wire bundles, edge of distance holes shall be lower than 2mm.
— Wire bundle should be ensured to be far away from hot surface, so as to prevent
damage to insulation.
— Install and locate the cable,and even make them be easy in service.
— Never use a power distribution line and operation circuit to combine a feed line.
— Observe as much as possible the curvature radius of line or coaxial cable.
Under normal case:
Minimum radius R is 10 times equal to line or cable diameter.
In box or board,if necessary:
Minimum radius R is 5 times equal to line or cable diameter.
Under the case that cable is properly supported:
Minimum radius R is 3 times equal to line or cable diameter.
— Twin wire coaxial cable should be vertically bent to the plane common to two
cables.
— Cable slack requirement
— Cable (including coaxial cable) should be slightly slacked for following reasons.

Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

• Be easy in installation and maintenance.


• Considering the replacement of two end parts (connector, lug).
• Circuits.
• To prevent vibration from affect on the stress of equipment, or cable supports and
connector.
Note: In some special cases,the residual length of cable bundle should be specified on
drawings.
— Cable length of coaxial cable group should always be the length specified in
drawings. When the cable repair demand is not enough,replace the whole cable .
—Requirement for loop
• A loop is necessary in the areas where liquid drop formed due to condensation or
leakage is brought along a cable to the cable joint. The loop should be provided to
protect accessories from damage by the liquid drops.
— Cable anti-corrosion protective measures. The cables or wire bundles that are easily
damage due to structure abrasion should be protected by using a rubber wire to tie
up them in a required length.
1.2.2 Clamping cables (see detail B in Fig.1)
— In normal condition, cable should be clamped to prevent corrosion.
— Clip should be selected in accordance with the diameter of wire bundle.
— When a clamping device is completely closed, the clamping device should be
clamped without deformation and connecting hole should not be elongated.
— As long as possible, locate the clamping devices so that they can be attached to the
cable bundle. The area provided with clamping device should be most effectively
probe most effectively protect the cable bundle from structural abrasion.
— Cable should not be clamped between two clamping fixed columns (a).
— Clamping device should completely closed (b).
Note: If a proper size clamping device is not available,then select a clamping device,
which is slight greater than the cable diameter.
— Adhesive tape should be wrapped around cable bundle,so that after clamping device
installed,a rated clamping can be obtained. This method can be used only in very
rare cases.
— The distance between two continuous clamping devices should not exceed 600mm.
— Over-clamping of coaxial cable should be avoided, so as to protect these cables
against deformation.
—Following components should be used to protect the clamping stop screw.
• Use the caption or non-caption lock nut.
• Use the lock washer.

20-02-01-415
Jul. 15/2010 Page 2

• A flat washer must be placed between screw head and clamping mounting column.
1.2.3 Binding a cable bundle
— Binding a cable bundle:
• To comprise a cable bundle.
• To allocate the mechanical stress to all the cables.
• To combine cables of the same wire bundle,i.e., separate them from the cables of
other wire bundle.
• To facilitate the installation and maintenance.
— Use the following material to bind the cable bundle:
• In all cases, use nylon 11 polyamide fiber tape.
• Hemp wire used for temporary retaining (to bind the wire bundle at outlet of plate or
when nylon 11 can not be used).
— The binding position on a wire bundle depends on the required form and stability.
— However,on the single wire bundle,the distance between two bindings should be
approximately 150mm.
For the fixed wire bundle,this distance can be reduce to 50mm.
1.3 Preventive measures and protective measures for wire bundle and connector.
1.3.1 General
The wire bundle should be protected to prevent any damages.
For this end:
— Avoid contact of harness with sharp edges.
— Don’t step on or sit on harness.
— When displacing cable bundles, convey them instead of pulling.
— For permanent or temporary storage, cable bundle should be laid up instead of
hanging.
— When removing, provide electric plugs with protective cover, and keep such
protective status till installation.
— The non-connection connectors of circuits on aircraft should be insulated by using
colorless insulation casing pipe, of which the diameter is the same as that of insulated
wire.
1.4 Cleaning of installed cables
1.4.1 Materials required
— Plastic Glyst products provided by France TORCO Company have no adverse affect
on the following products:
• Plexiglas.

20-02-01-415

• Epoxy prime
• Cellulose or vinyl paint outer painting
1.4.2 Steps
— Put the product on a lint-free clean dry wiper.
— Use this wiper to wipe the outer surface of cable for applying a thin coat of the
product, (wipe clean cable about 1 meter) to allow this kind of product to have a
few seconds of effect.
— Use a lint-free clean dry wiper to remove such product through wiping the cable
from beginning to the end.
Note: In case cable is seriously contaminated, repeat this procedure until all
contaminants are removed.

ALUMINUM ALLOY HEAT TREATMENT

1 General
The purpose of this section is to provide the user with instructions necessary for some heat
treatment and forming technology required in structure repair.
2 Aluminum Alloy Heat Treatment
2.1 Classification of aluminum alloy
Aluminum alloy in divided into two kinds:
— None- heat treatment alloy (condition “H”)
— Heat treatment alloy (condition “T”)
The phrase of “heat treatment or none-heat treatment ” can be changed to “precipitation
hardening or none- precipitation hardening”,and the latter is more suitable.
The mechanical performance of none-heat treated alloy can be varied through clod
working such as rolling, stretching and metal machining.
Stress produced by cold working can be release via annealing.
This is the only heat treatment procedure used for such alloys.
The mechanical performance of heat treated alloy can be modified by following
procedure:
— Cold working;
— Heat treatment;
— Cold working + heat treatment .
The mechanical performance of heat treated alloy can be modified by following treatment
procedures:
— Quenching + natural aging(in the environmental temperature):
— Quenching + manual aging (high than the environmental temperature).
For example:
Any quenching or annealing treatment has released effect of the final cold working,which
will cause reduction to the yield strength.
As for 2017A alclad alloy,the standard value of yield strength is reduced from 265Mp to
235Mp (from 27 to 24kg/mm);as for 2024, including alloy,the standard value of yield
strength is reduced from 314Mp to 275Mp (32~28k8/mm).
2.2 Quenching
2.2.1 General
quenching aluminum alloy including two steps:
— Solution heating, soaking;

20-02-02-101
Jul. 15/2010 Page 1
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

— Cooling (generally, quick cooling in water).


2.2.1.1 Solution treatment and quenching
— solution treatment can be conducted in the following furnaces:
• Circulating air furnace:
• Salt bath furnace.
Note: Salt bath ingredient:It has 308℃ melting point,and active in 500℃,
non-evaporating sodium nitrate.
— Under two conditions,the temperature are same, while the holding time is
different.
— For the solution treatment temperature,see Table 1;For the holding time, see
Table 2.
— In heating,some alloy texture is easier to be dissolved to solid solution than that
in cold condition. That is why the step of quenching is called the “solution
treatment ”.
— By quick cooling,there is no time for solid solution to be resolved,so this
texture of high temperature is fixed under cooling condition.
— Upon quenching,the metal in under softened condition. After solution treatment
(status “AQ”) it is easy in machining.
— The solution treatment needs certain time and temperature,and this temperature
and time varies in accordance with alloy and its previous treatment condition.
2.2.2 Rivet 2017A shall be quenched using salt bath furnace and air furnace.
Rivet 2017A should be quenched with salt bath furnace under following conditions:
— The salt bath temperature is 495±5℃;
— For rivet diameter of 1.6~2.4, the holding time in salt bath furnace is 20~40minutes;
— The quantity of rivet baskets should not be over-charged into furnace, so as to
prevent the temperature from dropping down.
If such case occurs, specified temperature of the salt bath should be recovered within 5
min.
The quenching of 2017A rivet using air furnace should be carried out under following
condition:
— Furnace temperature 490~5℃;
— Holding time:
• For the rivet with diameter of lower than 5mm, it should be 15 min;
• For the rivet with diameter of more than 5mm, it should be 25 min.
Caution:No matter the rivet size,the above holding time is calculated only
starting from the moment when the furnace temperature has reached

— Solution treatment should not exceed:
• Thickness of lower than 0.8mm 10 min
• Thickness of 0.8~2.5mm 15 min
• Thickness of greater than 2.5mm 30 min
— Number of solution treatments (exclusive of solution treatment performed by
the seller), at most twice.
Note: For forgings and die forgings, particularly for large sized and complex
shaped components,it is required to pre-specify optimum temperature and
holding time .
2.2.3.2 Transfer time from furnace to quenching tank
—Transfer time from furnace to quenching tank should be measured;
• For air furnace,the measurement starts from the moment when the furnace door
is completely open;
• For salt bath furnace,the measurement starts from the moment when material
edge is first exposed out of salt bath furnace
.

Caution:Temperature shown in Table 3 and Table 4 are also applicable for


forgings and die forgings.
— Quenching tank should have an enough volume, so as to prevent the
temperature rise caused by heat transfer as the temperature exceeding 10℃.
— Parts should be soaked as vertically as possible,and the thickest section should
be soaked.
2.3 Aging
2.3.1 Natural aging (status “T4”)
After quenching, the similar ingredients will start to precipitate in a fine grained status
inside the grain. And after that, the metal is hardened to obtain its final
performance. In case the precipitation occurs in a environmental temperature,it is
called a natural aging,and then metal aging is hardened (status“T4”).
2.3.2 Manual aging or tempering (status “T6”)
Under environmental temperature, some alloys are very slowly hardened,and it must
be heated for certain time (110~200℃,6~25 hours ).
2.3.3 Tempering —holding temperature and time

2.4 Annealing
Annealing generally is carried out in the air furnace.
Actually, two kinds of annealing are used:
— Stress relief annealing:
— Fully annealing (status “0”)
2.4.1 Stress relief annealing
Annealing can be used to release the stress caused by cold working.
It is that heats metal for short time under re-crystallization temperature.
Annealing can also soften the heat treatment hardened material.
For all heat treated alloys,under temperature of 340±10℃ for holding time of 30~60
minutes,perform stress relief annealing.
Cooling in the indoor air
2.4.2 Full annealing or annealing ( “0”)
Full annealing is to provide a maximum softening to the heat treatment hardened alloy.
Use the temperature higher than and time longer than that of stress relief annealing to
heat the metal, and slowly cool it.
Temperature shall increase as quick as possible.(furnace can not be overloaded).
Furnace is cooled in a rate of 25℃/h to 250℃,and then, it is cooled in the indoor air
(heat treated alloy).
The full annealing can also make the cold working hardened alloy be softened at
maximum.
Holding temperature and time is given in Table 6.
For non-heat treatment alloy 1050A,it must be quickly cooled (water or room
temperature).

7075 400±10 1 hour
2618A Annealing is prohibited 1 hour
6061 400±10 1 hour

Note: For thick parts,holding time should be longer .


2.5 Defects caused by heat treatment
2.5.1 Unsatisfactory performance
Reasons:
— Solution treatment temperature is incorrect (too high:overburn,or too low:
incomplete solution treatment );
—Holding time is too short;
—Transfer time from furnace to quenching tank is too long;
— Cooling rate is too slow (high water temperature quenching);
— Tempering temperature or time is incorrect.
2.5.2 Alclad alloy-copper is diffused to alclad
— When alclad alloy is heated to above 400℃,alloy element,particularly copper is
diffused to alclad.
— The presence of copper remarkably weakens the corrosion resistance of alclad.
Therefore, this is additional reason for restrict limitation of number of quenching
and tempering treatments.
— For particularly metal sheet,as alclad thickness is very small,the copper will be
diffused very fast to surface,if these metal sheet undergo several times of heat
treatment,or if one heat treatment is carried out incorrectly, which will give a false
appearance of forming a protective layer.
2.5.3 Blister
During quenching,a blister sometimes appears on a metal surface. On a cladding or
non-cladded thin sheet and massive plate,these blisters on extruded section and forging
may be caused by two reasons as follows:
— Hydrogen or various kinds of impurities are present in the metal (hydrogen is the
only gas that can be prominently dissolved in aluminum alloy);
— Because alclad material is incorrectly bonded between the center portion and
cladding during the hot-rolling time.

20-02-02-101
Jul. 15/2010 Page 6
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

Presence in metal may be due to:


— Casting with excessive quantity gas;
— Overheated in wet atmosphere.
As the latter phenomenon may occur in quenching furnace, so it can be eliminated by
adding sodium fluorate to reduce the relative humidity in furnace.
2.6 Requirement for heating of hot-forming aluminum alloy parts
2.6.1 This section specifies the requirement for heating of hot-forming aluminum alloy parts
under a low temperature,i.e. under the temperature in which the original mechanical
performance of the metal is not much changed. This procedure is mainly used for local
forming (bending,dimpling etc. )of component with large diameter. Therefore, the heat
treatment of whole formed and assembled big component should be avoided.
2.6.2 Scope of application
— Hot-forming must be carried out for high yield strength alloy:
2014 heat aged alloy
7075 heat aged alloy
— For other wrought alloys 2017A 2024 1050A,hot-forming is not necessary carried
out;however, because it can obtain relatively good forming (in hot state, the elastic
aftereffect will be reduced ) and crackles components,it is recommended to use this
procedure:
— Under the situation of high yield strength alloy,before heat aging (tempering) or
after,forming can be performed, first of all, solution treatment will be more
beneficial. However, its application is limited to the component to be heat treated
during manufacturing.
Under the situation of non- tempering metal,after heating,mechanical performance
will be lowered quickly. Under such condition, the metal should be machined in the
temperature as described in Paragraph 2.4;
— High temperature tempered alloy presents higher hot stretching performance than
that of natural aging alloys (Fig.1).
The chart shows mechanical performance approximation that varies with temperature.
— Hot-forming at low temperature is mainly carried out in the following situation:
• Bottom swaging of press forming,bedding or rolling section material;
• Dimpling prior to riveting;
• Low amplitude forming (lower than yield strength);
• Correction of deformed component during processing (via deformation or stress relief
annealing);
• Correction of stamping formed or bending formed component (via deformation or
stress relief annealing).

20-02-02-101
Jul. 15/2010 Page 7
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

2.6.3 Heating mode


— Parts can be heated under the following condition:
• Parts heating,tool cooling (Method a);
• Parts are heated and tool heated (method “b”);
• Cooled parts are heated by contact with hot tools (method “d”);
• Cooled parts are mounted on cooling tool, assembly for heating in furnace (method
“c”);
— The method to be selected depends on machining to be performed.
— For thin section material (fast deformation ) undercut on mechanical or spiral press
machine,method “a” should be used. Under the same condition,except for the same
very thin section material, method “c” may be used.
— For dimpling sheet or plate,method “c” should be used. Method “d” should be used
for low amplitude forming and straightening of machine parts and die pressed parts.
For press formed parts, method “b” should be used.
2.6.4 Heating temperature and time
— The heating temperature and time should be selected according to machining
condition,properly reducing the time needs to provide a higher temperature (a
better forming condition).
— Generally,the time depends on processing conditions, such as the total size of parts,
distance from tools to furnace, and depends on machine tools (mechanical press
machine or hydraulic press).
The weights of parts and tools and heating method (see Paragraph 2.6.3) can also affect
the heating time .
— In case of releasing the work stress,the heating time should be long enough. In any
cases, if the temperature and time is exceeded,it is necessary to request the design
organization for approval. In case of rejection, parts should be subject to a complete
set heat treatment (if applicable,quenching and tempering).
— If use all necessary preventive measures to prevent parts temperature from
exceeding the maximum values specified in Table 7 (ratio of weight of parts to
operating time),the temperature tool can be much higher.
Note: For spinning (very short machining time,selected heating zone),tools should be
heated to about 300℃.

2.6.5 Preprocessing prior to parts forming


Under such forming condition of involving the large component deformation (bottom
swaging,spinning, etc.),any possible reason of incipient crack should be avoided:
— For bottom swaging press formed parts:
• Remove sharp edges;
Grind extrusion scratches;
• Never drill parts before forming.
— For spinning:
• Remove bars from rivet hole.
2.6.6 Heating equipment
— The heating can be carried out by using equipment as follows:
• Fume extraction measures should be taken for air furnace.
• Fume extraction measures should be taken for salt bath furnace.
• Fume extraction measures should be taken for oil tank.
• Heating resistor (tools or parts heating).
• Infrared lamp.
2.6.7 Control in the manufacture period
All heating tools should have automatic temperature control unit, to prevent exceeding
the specified temperature.
Parts temperature should be controlled by using a pyrometer,hot measurement paint or
pencil thermometer .
In some cases (for example: dimple),temperature of apart can be indirectly controlled

20-02-02-101
Jul. 15/2010 Page 9
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

using the heating time (automatic control should be tried as much as possible ).
Indirect control should be use only under the situation that temperature rising speed is
known (depends on heating method),and before operation starting, a calibration test
must be conducted.
2.6.8 Post forming inspection
Check all the formed parts,particularly the parts of large area deformation (bottom
swaging, spinning) for cracks.

FORMING OF STRUCTURAL SHEET METAL PART

1 General
In repairing of structure sheet metal work, various kinds of forming procedures to be carried
out are as follows:
— Bending, bottom swaging stamping, lightening hole and strengthening center-dot, elbow
(these procedures may use cold- forming), center-dot (this forming procedure should use
hot forming).
For high temperature strength alloy (2014-duraluminium, 7075-super-strength duralumin),
they must be hot formed.
For other alloys (2017A-wrought aluminum, 2024-duraluminium, 5052 and 5056- anti-rust
aluminum), generally, the hot-forming is not necessary to be carried out, but it is actively
recommended to perform hot-forming, because forming in such a way is easy, crackles, and
less resilience.
2 Pre-forming heat treatment
Prior to forming, the material to be formed or in some cases, after forming, a heat treatment
process as follows:
— Quenching treatment
— Annealing
If the above two heat treatments are carried out, then operator must follow specifications
and description stipulated in Chap-Sec-Sub 20-02-02-101 of Standard Practices Manual.
3 Cold-forming
— Bending, bottom swaging stamping, lightening hole and strengthening center-dot, elbow.
These different forming procedures may use dies made of wood, plastic, aluminum, steel to
perform manual forming, and also can carry out forming, by means of dies, on machine
tools such as bender, center-dot stamping press, punch machine and hydraulic press.
4 Bend corner-rounding radius
Bend corner-rounding radius “r” depends on material thickness “e” of the part to be bent
and the size should be selected as specified in Table 20-02-03-403 in Standard Practices
Manual.

HOT STAMPED CENTER-DOT

1 Center-Dot
1.1 Hot stamped center-dot
— Requirements for center-dot stamping: maximum thickness of a part to be stamped is
0.8mm, if the thickness exceeds this value, then center-dot pricking shall be used, and
in this case, it is prohibited to use center-dot stamping press for center-dot stamping.
2 Center-dot stamping process
The center-dot stamping should be carried out by using a stationary or portable center-dot
stamping press. Center-dot stamping angle will be dependable on the angle of connected
part head (100—120℃).
2.1 Center-dot stamping method (see Fig.1)
— Heating temperature and time.
The heating temperature of punch head for center-dot stamping is 350℃. The temperature
of aluminum alloy metal sheet is 180℃.
Caution: In order to eliminate cracks, observe the temperature of the latter as
carefully as possible.
Heating time depends on thickness of the part to be center-dot stamped.
2.2 Punch die (see Fig.1)
The angle of center-dot stamping male die (1) should be in compliance with that of female
die (2), and be in conformity with various head forms of rivets or bolts on the part (3).

Try as much as possible to use standard bending fillet radius. The special fillet radius can
only be used in a special case. For the part with bending length of exceeding 2m,the “N” or
“S” value of thicker plate that is nearby should selected. (All the values in the round
brackets are only used in condition that the bending length exceeds 2m).

The values given in the round brackets are used for bending length of greater than 2m
It is recommended not to bend thin sheet made parts under the quenching condition.
However, due to a special reason,the bending must be made under the quenching
condition,then,when material thickness is not greater than 1.4 mm,minimum bending
fillet radius must be equal to or greater than the material thickness.
Under T status, when bending angle is 70℃, use that minimum bending fillet radius of
cold bending is equal to 2 e,at this moment 0.5<e<3.

— Generally , the nylon 11 polyamide fiber is very capable of resisting alkali,
non-chloride solvent, oil, grease, mineral oil base product and organic acid;
— The nylon 11 polyamide fiber should not be used together with following products:
Concentrated mineral acid - ice-like acetic acid - phenol - cresol - trichloroethylene -
chlorine - chloride solvent - acetone - ketone.
Note: The diluted mineral acid resistant performance of Nylon 11 polyamide fiber pipe
depends on the property.
2 Machine-Shaping Process of Nylon 11 Polyamide Fiber Pipe,
2.1 General
—Tools used for saw cutting,thread tapping,drilling,milling,turning and grinding
operation are similar to the tools which are used for light metal;
— For machine-shaping (bending,sleeving, gluing,welding and connection),various
kinds of processing procedures can be used,of which, only the most universal
processing procedures will be specified. These operations should be carried out
according to procedure described below.
— The formers should made of material such as duralumin or wood,and should have
enough rigidity, so as to fix various kinds of formed pipes,until they are completely
cooled.
2.2 Machine-shaped pipe
—Nylon 11 polyamide fiber pipe machine-shaping should be conducted in one step with
temperature of 160~180℃,
—Gradually and regularly heat only the parts to be machine-shaped,so as to prevent any
overheating;
— Use one oil tank or one oven (use controlled gas) for heating, so that it can be heated
uniformly and properly;
— Cooling should be carried out by soaking it in water,or using the method of water
washing,and if component is too big in volume,,even can be performed quickly using
one sponge,and pipe is still on the tool while being cooled.
2.3 Bending pipes (Fig.1-detail A)

template;
— Minimum bending radius(R) is 5 times as large as pipe diameter ;however,if there
is requirement for assembling,it can be reduced to 3 times as large as pipe
diameter,but it is difficult in operation;
— A recess that is in compliance with outside diameter of all pipe areas to be bent
should be used to guide the pipe. Maintain the section material (2), which is not
required to be bent, in a proper position,and a cushion block is required;
— Bending angle should be increased by 10°,so as to compensate the shrinkage of
nylon 11 polyamide fiber (Item a-Fig.1-detail A).
2.3.2 Operation procedure
2.3.2.1 Operating procedure for maximum diameter of 12mm and bending radius of 5
times not smaller than pipe diameter
a. Insert a rubber or core of which the outside diameter is equal to internal diameter
of bent pipe into Nylon 11 polyamide fiber pipe. Pulling method should be used
for assembling the core instead of pushing method.
b. Put an assembly in oven, and last for 10min under temperature 160℃.
c. Use one metal bending template:
• Carry out bending,then clamp it;
• Return the assembly back to the oven under temperature 160℃ for 30min;
• Quickly soak the assembly into water,until it is completely cooled;
• Remove the rubber core.
d. Use one wood bending template:
•·Carry out bending,then clamp it;
• Put the assembly in a chill box,keep it for 1hour.
2.3.2.2 Operating procedure for minimum diameter of 12mm and bending radius of 5
times not smaller than pipe diameter
a. Quickly and repeatedly use a wide flame to heating pipe in the whole length
scope,making the heat quantity distributed to 使 the entire pipe wall thickness.
b. Put the pipe on template for bending and clamping.
c. Quickly keep on spraying cold water on the pipe, until the assembly is
completely cooled.
Note: This procedure can be used for either metal template or for wooden
template.
2.3.2.3 Machine-shaping procedure for pipes with diameter of greater than 20mm
These pipes must be always fully filled with sand heated to 90℃,and then close
two ends,and it can also be fit with one sliding matching rubber core or coil spring

— Adjust hot gas temperature to 200-220℃;


— Bevel cut the end of welding rod (14);
— In the area to be bevel cut welded,slightly heat the pipe, and put the bevel cut end of
welding rod on heating position (12) without compression;
— Upon feeling adhesion of welding rod,use the forward movement (13) and up
down movement (11) to supply hot gas;
— Four courses of welding shall be made to obtain a satisfactory welding (items 1, 2,
3,4 in Fig. );
—Completely cool the welded assembly before using.
Note: A weld formed section should be avoided, because use of weld torch will cause
the pipe return to its original state. In case the section has already been formed, then
a weld iron should be used (on tin soldering flux operation).
2.8 Assembling on aircraft
2.8.1 General
RILSAN pipe shall be fixed on a structure using plastic clip (nylon clip shaped HP),
so as ensure there is no any movement, and at the same time to prevent over-tightening.
If possible,spacing between clips should be 20 times lower than the outside diameter of
pipe.
When the assembling is conducted on aircraft,the preventive measures should be taken.
Protect pipes against abrasion with points and edges of holes or components assembled
or to be assembled,and prevent pipe from being crushed and bending with force by
hands.

1.1 General
Fusion welding of any steel, aluminum alloy and titanium components should be in
compliance with the relevant requirements specified in this document.
The processing method is as follows:
— oxyacetylene welding (OA);
— Use refractory electrode to perform the inert gas protection arc welding (TIG);
— Use coated metal to perform the arc welding (E);
— Soldering and hard brazing.
1.2 Type of component
Use the following methods to obtain welded assemblies:
— Steel and titanium fusion welding;
— Light alloy fusion welding, soldering and hard brazing.
— It is divided into two types according to the functions they undertake:
Type A: The weldments that are not directly related to strength,safety or operation of
aircraft, but only to supplementary functions, such as pressed parts of paddle,
cowling, elbow, air duct support, and pressed parts of air inlet duct or exhaust
duct, cable or pipe clamps.
Type B: The weldments that are directly related to strength,safety or operation of
aircraft,provide very important functions, such as longeron,wing spar,
structural skin panel,landing gear, engine mount, wing spar connecting lug, all
welded structure area - fuel system,control device surface mounting joint,and

1.4.1 Design of fusion welded part (Fig.1)


1.4.1.1 General
In addition to that regulations of design of fusion welded part below to be observed,
as following regulations should also be provided:
— Position of welded seam. The welding torch neck,welding rod and metal should
be able to reach the welding position,to ensure a normal welding;
• Parts drawing A: Minimum angle should be ensured
• Parts drawing B:Incorrect direction
• Parts drawing C:Correct direction
• Parts drawing D:Principle for butt joint welded seam.
— Two welded seam should not be intersected, particularly thick parts. Fillet
welded seam and the reverse side welding of part with thickness less than 2mm
should be avoided;
— Too thick fillet welded seam shall be avoided;
— Try as much as possible to incline the welded seam according to the action line
of stress,so as to prevent welding defects concentrated in the same segment;
— This procedure can not be used for pipe connection,it is better to use a flat butt
joint or flat butt joint with setting-up piece (see item11, Para.1.4.1.2 );
— Try as much as possible to weld part with the same thickness;
— if part strength and operation is allowed, then the interrupted welded seam can
be used;
— Welding of too many pipes got together should be avoided,for it may cause
welding to become more difficult and,and lead to overlapping and thick
welding coat,which is a potential cause for cracks and deformation.

ASSEMBLING OF BUSHING ON SUPPORTING PART

1 Assembling Bushing on Supporting Part


1.1 Selection of assembling method
The assembling method depends on necessity of assembling. The selection of assembling
method will be determined by operators according to introduced equipment. In all the
cases, it is necessary to carefully check bushing and bore diameter (sizes, surface
conditions and roundness, etc.). And then, wipe it using cloth dipped with solvent
(trichloroethylene, etc). Under the condition of different metals, apply M3-1 or other
compounds specified in the relevant chapters and sections, to the fitting surfaces of
assembled parts.
Four assembling methods can be used:
— Press assembling
— Expansion assembling
— Contraction assembling
— Expansion and contraction combination assembling
1.2 Press assembling
This method will not change the physical and chemical property of parts in assembling,
and generally, will not change their metallographic structures. Sometimes the required
fitting performance is lowered due to variation of contact surface. Its reason is the wears
or scratches of soft parts surface caused by hard parts surface.
1) Method (see detail A in Fig.1)
Prior to assembling, make sure the assembled parts (bushing,sleeve, etc.) are
correctly aligned to 正 bore diameter center. It would be best to use a king of
assembling tool that is able to align the part with bore diameter center and easily be
pressed in.

1.3 Expansion assembling
This assembling is t o fit a contained member into external member expanded by
preheating. During cooling period, an ideal fitting can be obtained due to shrinkage of
external member.
Note: If the required temperature may vary metallographic structure of metal and change
surface state or make parts deformed,then this method can not be used .
1.3.1 Expansion assembling (see detail C in Fig.1)
— The expansion of t he part or other structural members of taking in bushing
expansion is obtained by heating:
• In furnace
• In oil tank
— Heating temperature depends on interference of fit (△L).
— In order to fit bushing,parts must be heated,so as to increase “L”,to make it
become L2=L+△L(△L which is maximum interference of fitting ).
1) The required expansion value shall be determined as per materials
— Light alloy :
• Small limits of expansion: Heating temperature should not exceed 80℃.
• Big limits of expansion:Heating temperature shall be determined by different
alloys.
• Heating time should be accurately controlled to the time needed to obtain an ideal
temperature.
— Steel :
• Heating temperature should always be lower than tempering temperature.
• Heating time and temperature should be accurately controlled to the required
values.
2) Use furnace heating expansion
— Heat the external parts in furnace (if required,be heated with assembling
fixture). The heating should be carried out uniformly and slowly to prevent
deformation.
— When assembling different material and using insulation compound,its heating
temperature should be lower than failure temperature of compound, that is, when

20-02-05-403
Jul. 15/2010 Page 2
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

M3-1 factice is used, the temperature is 250℃.


3) Method
— Under condition of assembling different materials,it is required to coat parts with
M3-1 factice or any other compounds specified in relevant chapters and sections.
—A press machine should be used for assembling.
— The method specified in Para. 1.2 can be used.
1.4 Contraction assembling
This method of operation is to cool the contained member,making it be momentarily
shrunken,then fit it into the external part. As the temperature rising, the contained
member will be expanded to constrict the surface and lock, thus obtaining a desired fitting.
This method is not applicable to all steels.
1.4.1 Contraction assembling
— The cooling sources used for contraction assembling are as follows:
• Liquid nitrogen (it is most commonly used),boiling temperature:-195℃
• Solid carbon dioxide,temperature: -80℃
— Nitrogen consumption used for cooling depends on weight of part (to cool steel of
1kg requires 1L of nitrogen). When the part reaching temperature of liquid
nitrogen , no measuring instrument is required for determination. With parts
immersed,operators shall pay attention to boiling bubbles,and when bubbles are
terminated,the part will reach the temperature of liquid nitrogen.

Note:
The cooling may make heat treated parts become very brittle, so the collision of parts
must be avoided before they recover to the normal temperature.
Caution:
— Never block the liquid nitrogen storage tank or impregnation tank.
—Never put such storage tank or impregnation tank in a sealed container.
— Procedure:
• Under condition of using different materials, it is required to coat the interior wall of
external member holes with M3-1 factice or any other compounds specified in
relevant chapters and sections
• Fit the bushing on an assembling tool (see detail D in Fig.1).
Note: For a contained member light in weight,its integrated assembling tool is best to
be made of metal which has higher thermal conductivity and specific heat.
— Immerse tool contained with a bushing into the cooling agent.
— With parts immersed into the liquid nitrogen, wait until the air bubbles are ceased.
At this moment, part has been adequately cooled.
— After taking parts from the liquid nitrogen, it is required to conduct the assembling
as quickly as possible,and correctly fix the position of bushing. Under some tight
fitting conditions,the bushing be gradually driven in by pressure or using a wood
hammer.
1.5 Expansion and contraction combination assembling
The combination assembling will be used at the same time as the method described in
Paras. 1.3 and 1.4, which is particularly suitable and necessary for the tight fit.
This is required to cooling the contained member at the time while heating the external
member .
Special case, that is, when fitting the contained member into external member, the
temperature of external member has dropped,and at the same time, the temperature of
contained member goes up again,and at this moment, it is allowed to use the pressure
assembling.
1.5.1 Expansion and contraction assembling
This method includes:
— Heat external parts as described in Para. 1.3.
—Immerse external parts into cooling agent as described in Para. 1.4
—Assemble the cooled bushing as described in Para. 1.2.

1.5.2 Preventive measures to be taken when using liquid nitrogen
There is possibility of liquid drops splashed out, but there is risk to form a gaseous
layer between the skin and coolant liquid which can protect skin and can prevent burns
caused by contact.
Caution: Never touch the metallic body which is cooled by impregnating,as the
skin of operators may be injured for there is no gaseous protective layer.
During handling process, it is required to use the pliers or put on the
protective gloves.

ASSEMBLING

1 Assembling Using Plain Bolt and Nut


— The indicated torque is applicable to normal tightening nut.
— In very special case,may tighten bolts;provided that the following conditions are not
involved,the maximum torque is still applicable:
• Tight fit bolt.
• Non-hexagonal head screw :These screws shall be tightened and checked using a
standard screwdriver,and no torque measurement is to be made .
— Buckling of several layers of metal sheet should be taken into consideration. First of all,
pre-tightening should be carried out, then the second tightening shall be performed
according to the marked torque.
1.1 Tightening sequence (see detail A in Fig.1)
Unless otherwise specified in every Assembling Manual,upon bolts installed and roughly
tightened,nut should be tightened according to the in numerical order.
1.2 Check procedure of torques
The check is done only by spot checking,and it is always conducted in direction of
tightening, of which procedure is as follows:
— Distinguish the position of nut relative to assembly,and identify the nut and assembly
with marks.
— Loosen:Use plain wrench to loosen the nut by 1/2 turn.
— Again use torque tension wrench to tighten the nut and read out the torque.
— Tighten the nut or bolt head for second time,mark non-coincidence value which
should not exceed 2mm
Caution: Never check torque by loosening a nut.
1.3 Check torque wrench and adapter
The torque wrench and adapter should be checked at least once per month on the proper
tester.
tolerance:Calibration should be accurate to +5%.
1.3.1 Use adaptor
When the nut can be tightened only by an adapter,it is necessary to take some measures
to eliminate error of torque load in application and reading.
Adapter should be correctly laid, so as to locate the center line of tightened hexagonal
or fork joint along the axis of torque wrench.
— The length of adapter shall always be less than the length of torque tension wrench.

Jul. 15/2010 Page 1
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

— The special case may use the adapter with an eccentric shaft,but deviation angle
should not exceed 15°, (see detail C in Fig.1).
—Never put the adapter in perpendicular to torque wrench.
— When using an adapter, if the tightening moment applied to nut is not the same as
the reading of torque wrench, then it is necessary to prepare a corresponding chart
for applied torque vs. wrench and adapter combined torque reading.
1.4 Specification for reusing of nuts and bolts
1.4.1 Reused screws, nuts and screw pins
When every male thread part being removed,which should be carefully checked . All
parts and threads and screw bolts that have any defects described bellow should be
discarded and replaced:
— Pre-shrinking,bending, torsion.
— Peeling, scoring.
—Tolerance limits of wear are exceeded.
— Protective layer has been damaged.
— Indentation.
Note:
Reusing of the bolts and pins used in close tolerance fitting (e.g. H7-P6) should not be
more than twice.
1.4.2 Specification for reusing of double lock nut (crown nut of internal nylon lock).
Prior to reusing the nuts:
— Make sure the nylon lock is not over-damaged.
— Fit the nut with hands:
• If a nut can be easily tightened,then it should be discarded.
• If a nut is hard to be tightened and fails to be tightened,then it can be reused. (in the
workshop,the minimum lock torque value can be read by using a torque wrench).

1.4.3 Requirement for installation of new or used self-lock nut


1.4.3.1 Special preventive measures to be taken prior to installation of nuts
It is prohibited to:

20-02-05-404

Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

— Use phenolic cleaning agent to clean nuts (Nylotop nut).


— No matter what type it is, tapping shall be made in self-locking nut during the
installation or before reinstallation.
1.4.3.2 Check procedure for installation and reinstallation of nuts with diameter of
exceeding 9.5mm
No matter what type of self-locking nut is used (metal ,fiber glass or nylon),it shall
be checked with hand tightening. If the self-locking part can be screwed in the
threads of screw,then the nut must be discarded.
1.4.3.3 Check procedure for installation or reinstallation nuts with diameter from 10 to
20mm
No matter what type of self-locking nut is used, after the self-locking part of nut
can be completely screwed in the threads of screw,the minimum torque can be
measured by loosening nuts;and however,its bearing surface should not be in
contact with the structural components to be fixed.

BONDING PAINTING - 1318 B VARNISH


OR DBLQ-6801 GREEN INSULATION VARNISH

1 DUROUX 1318 B Varnish or DBLQ-6801 Green Insulation Varnish


1.1 General
Conventionally used DUROUX 1318 B insulation varnish or DBLQ-6801 is mainly a
kind of protective coating.
The is transparent varnish can be dried in the air, forming a protection film, heating to 60
℃ can speed up hardening of the film but can not strengthen its performance, the film
has perfect flexibility , and has good adhesion on all pre-degreased surfaces.
The dried and cured film is not sensitive to humidity. Its main characteristic is of high
insulativity (0.06mm thick film can insulate about 6,500V).
This characteristic is particularly distinct in the high frequency, and under these
conditions, “Skinning” can be prevented.
In addition, the dried varnish surface is water-proof, and the formation of water film can
be prevented under saturated atmosphere, and therefore, its insulativity can be maintained
even under extremely unfavorable atmospheric condition.
1.2 Scope:
This card specifies that 1318 B varnish or DBLQ-6801 varnish is to be used.
The normal dry time between two coats is 4hours, after 24hours, insulated coat will be
completely cured.
1.4 Operating procedure
1.4.1 Prior to applying varnish, use trichloroethylene or SCALP 725 solution to thoroughly
clean and degrease the surface. It is required to completely remove any Vaseline or
SGE 50 855 compounds that are left from the previous bonding procedure.
1.4.2 Apply 1318 B varnish or DBLQ-6801 varnish, the paint coat should be spread to
connecting point itself or bonding area by 4-5mm (i.e. the ground area previously used
for bonding).

PENETRANT INSPECTION METHOD

1 General
1.1 Application scope
Penetrant flaw detection is a flaw detection method for surface open defects,which should
be used for metal and non-metal material. However, in comparison with other
non-destruction flaw detection method,the advantage is relatively simple both in
equipment and flaw detection material..
1.2 Principle
The penetrant liquid inspection is to utilize some characteristics of liquid to properly
penetrate to the material surface defects,and when the developer is sprayed on the surface
of part,the penetrant liquid remained in defects will absorbed out, thus a defect mark is
formed. .
1.3 Requirements for surface of parts
The parts must be thoroughly cleaned,and surface should be free from greasy dirt, rust,
paint coats, water logging and other pollutants.
Cleaned parts must be completely dried,so that no cleaning liquid or water inside defect
can adversely affect the penetration of penetrant liquid.
1.4 penetrant inspection personnel at all levels can only do the technical work related to their
own technical qualification.
2 Operating Procedure
The operating steps of penetrant flaw detection depends on penetrant liquid use and
development method,which is shown in the operation flow chart.
2.1 Fluorescent penetrant inspection
2.1.1 Immersing of parts
2.1.1.1 Immerse the well cleaned part into penetrant liquid of 540℃,so that surface of the
part can be completely covered, and the method such as brushing and spaying can
also be used.
2.1.1.2 Penetrating time 20-30min.

Dependant on shapes and sizes and quality of material, dry time should be as short
as possible, generally 3—8min.
2.1.3.2 When a part is locally dried, the forced circulating air (electric wind) may be used
fro drying, till the on surface of part disappears.
2.1.4 Dry powder developing
2.1.4.1 After dried, parts should be immediately applied with developing powder, enabling
part surface to be uniformly covered with a thin layer of developing powder.
2.1.4.2 Developing time should not be less than 15min.

MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION METHOD

1 General
1.1 Scope of application
The magnetic particle flaw detection is applicable to detect surface defects or near surface
defect of ferromagnetic material or made parts such as castings forgings weld and surface
defects or near surface of machined parts.
1.2 Principles
After magnetization based of ferromagnetic material, due to existence of defects, refraction
of magnetic line of flux is caused, resulting in leakage of part of magnetic flux out of the
part surface, and forming leakage field. If magnetic particle or magnetic suspension liquid
is applied to surface of parts, position and shape of defect will be developed.
1.3 Requirements for surfaces of parts
Oil stains, rusts, burrs, scales, metal chips and metal coats should be removed from the part
under detection.
1.4 Magnetic particle inspection personnel at different levels can only be engaged in technical
work corresponding to their technical qualifications.
2 Operating Procedure
2.1 Pre-treatment
Use solution, etc to get rid of many kinds of foreign matters harmful to defect
development from part surface, so as to obtain a good defect developing surface.
2.2 Magnetization
Select optimum magnetization method and magnetization current value as required so as
to get enough detection sensitivity. In addition, sensitivity test block can also be used to
select the magnetization current.
2.3 Apply magnetic particle or magnetic suspension liquid
There are two kinds of application methods- continuation method and residual field
method. The continuation method is to apply magnetic particle or magnetic suspension
liquid while applying magnetic field to a part, making magnetic field maintained until the
magnetic particle or magnetic suspension liquid is completely applied. The residual field
method is to apply magnetic particle or magnetic suspension liquid after magnetic field
applied to a part is completed.
2.4 Observation and judgment of magnetic tracks
There are two kinds of observation methods of magnetic particle tracks. When a
non-fluorescent magnetic suspension liquid is used, observation can be made in a place
where ray of light is available. If fluorescent magnetic particle or magnetic suspension
liquid is used, then ultra violet light has to be used to perform the observation in the dark
room.
For judgment of defect feature, review can be made with help of photo comparison or
other inspection means.

Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

2.5 Post- treatment


2.5.1 After flaw detection, the part should be demagnetization treated as required. The reason
for demagnetization is that if some parts which are with residual magnetism, then in
operation, they would attract iron chips, even a failure may occur. In demagnetization,
magnetic field strength will be reduced while a reverse magnetic field. There are two
kinds of demagnetization-direct current method and alternating-current method.
2.5.2 After demagnetization treatment of a part, the surface of the part should be cleaned.

DETAIL RULES AND REGULATIONS ON BEARING INSPECTION

1 Inspection of Bearing
1.1 Identification prior to inspection
Repair of bearing shall be carried out according to the repair description in the relevant
aircraft manual. These descriptions are provided in the rules and regulations on reusing.
1.2 Inspection of bearings that can be completely or partially disassembled
1.2.1 Preliminary visual check
Visually check if bearings have following obvious defects.
— Cracked, broken and deformed balls, rollers, retainers and bearing races.
— Peeled balls, rollers and bearing races.
— overheating or burn marks.
Note: Mechanical pitting generally appeared in the gear box under lubrication with
“limit pressure” lubricating oil shall not form condition for discard.
— Slight corrosion on bearing races,balls or rolls can be removed using gunny cloth
dipped with petroleum solvent .
1.2.2 Magnetic particle flaw detection
It is applicable only to the bearings specified in the relevant aircraft manual.
— Carry out the cracks detection on a part.
— Demagnetize the part upon completion of magnetic particle flaw detection.
1.2.3 Check of residual magnetism
As per Aeronautical Specification 4580.
1.2.4 Detailed visual check
After checking as described in Articles 1.2.1, 1.2.2 and 1.2.3,unrejected bearings shall
be checked under magnification power of 2.5. (Higher magnification power may used
to determine the essence of defects that have already been found). All visible working
surfaces (that is, outer surface of balls, rollers, and track of bearing race) shall be
checked. It is possible to observe following defects:
— Dents and corrosions
Dent refers to a small pit. If size of any small pit exceeds 0.25mm (that is, if it can be
measured by using 1mm diameter receptor point),that part shall be discarded. In case
of magnification power of 2.5, such small pits exceed 3 in any of scope of 5mm
diameter, or in 20mm on the bearing raceway such small pits exceed 3,then that part
shall be discarded.
— Indentation
Indentation is a slight surface concave or dent caused by pressure or collision of outer
surface with a hard matter. The indentation is generally similar to uniform surface area

20-02-10-601
Jul. 15/2010 Page 1
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

which normally appears on circular surface and can be detected only under reflected
light.
If it is found the indentation is more than 0.75mm (i.e. it can be detected by using 3 mm
diameter receptor point) that part shall be discarded.
If a roller indentation is more than 0.25mm (that is, if it can be measured by using 1mm
diameter receptor point),that part shall be discarded..
— Peeling
Peeling is gradually surface raised,so it is also called surface fatigue.
If the peeling is found,discard that part, and particularly check if peeling has occurred
in cave or sunk area.
— Scratches
Scratches are linear surface scratches instead of scratches caused by boring, grinding,
polishing or finish lapping.
If a scratch is more than 0.25mm in width (that is, if it can be measured by using
1mm diameter receptor point),that part shall be discarded.
— Circular scratches
The circular scratch refers to the presence of shallow dent on surface around balls or
rollers, and surface has no discontinuous traces.
If scratches in circumferential direction can be measured by using 1mm diameter
receptor point,then that part shall be discarded.
—Brinell effect indentation
Brinell effect indentation is a minor regular impression appeared on the bearing
surface,and it is possible to appear on two kinds of bearings - ball bearing and roller
bearing. All these are caused by improper assembling or due to violent vibration or
collision when bearing is not rotating. When roller bearing is checked with magnifier
under reflected light, this type of defects can be seen. The distance between center
points of the defect is in coincidence with that of balls.
If Brinell effect indentation can be measured by using 1mm diameter receptor point,
that part shall be discarded.
— False Brinell effect indentation
This is a kind of special type microvibration wearing corrosion that can only be found
on the bearing race contact surface, generally, which is on bearing of operating in a
small angle displacement. In general, it can be identified by a series of shallow
indentation by loading on bearing race of each roller contact surface on bearing
component.
This kind of defect is often accompanied by a red oxide.
If it can be detected by using 1mm diameter receptor point, that part shall be discarded.
— Stain

20-02-10-601
Jul. 15/2010 Page 2
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

Provided no pitting or overheating is present, then stain area is acceptable.


Stains can be locally wiped off by using gunny cloth dipped with petroleum solvent for
purpose of checking
— Worn dust proof cover and retainer
If retainer of ball or roller bearing has been elongated;if retainer is burnt and split;if
surplus fiber material is found or electroplated retainer is damaged,then the whole
bearing (if retainer group can not be removed) be discarded.
If surface peeling,or retainer deformation has caused two frictions and above,then that
part should be discarded.
Both internal and external contact areas of dust proof cover located by two races of
bearing may present uniformly worn sign on the sliding surface,and as long as the
radial clearance allowance on drawing can be ensured, then these parts are acceptable.
1.3 Inspection of non-detachable bearing
Check these bearings on the E-PEM-20-353 vertical lathe.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF REPAIR

1 General
Repair is that a repaired part can recover its original condition in both appearance and
strength.
2 Description on Repair of General Structure
2.1 Determination of damage situation
Repair area is usually a clear damage area. Under normal case, two types of damages
should be taken into consideration:
— Damages which can be detected immediately,generally these damages are outside (due
to fire, lightning, accident, etc.) or damage that are easily be found in the course of
aircraft overhaul (shearing rivet, shearing or broken pipes etc.) .
— Damages which are difficult to be detected , and need a system check and
disassembling (due to a forced landing, flights too much under turbulent state,
acceleration and shutdown, etc.).
In the first case,starting from identifying the location of damage,operators can determine
the area to be repaired by method such as checking the assemblies or parts nearby that are
suspiciously of damage,or comparing with the same damage found on the same type of
aircraft. Once the damage area is identified,operators should try to connect it with typical
damage. If necessary, confirm the correctness of damage classification,and make sure the
specified repair is one of the repair methods as described in this section or in compliance
with one of typical repair manuals specified in Repair Manual (M.R.R) which is related to
specific aircraft .
In the second case,it is required first to carry out system check,to identify the damaged
area. Once the damaged area is found,like the first case, first of all, the repair area should
be determined for the place to be repaired .
2.2 Fire damage
For the painted part involved, roughly put forward the scope of repair according to such
conditions as if painting coat is adhered to the part, and blistered and blackened.
2.3 Lightning damage
Generally, the damages are limited to:
— Local burn,in most cases , it can be repaired by skin drilling and riveting (damage is
generally evident and centralized).
—Bonding damaged on some parts, units or components should be bonded again (this
kind of damage is generally larger than the scope of the former,and it needs to
systematically check electric bonding condition of all neighboring metal parts).
2.4 Disassembling for evaluation and repair of the damage.
Disassembling (loosening and removal of rivet) is a careful work,on which the correct
repair is mainly based. During disassembling and repairing, take all necessary preventive

20-03-01-101
Jul. 15/2010 Page 1
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

measures to maintain the main dimensions.


This procedure must ensure:
1) During disassembling:
— It is required to compare the accurate dimensions with the original dimensions
appear in the specific inspection record of this aircraft and the structure repair
manual.
— Correct clamping parts to prevent any relative displacement and possible
deformation, as these phenomena is caused by the stress as result of some removed
structural parts.
2) During removal of rivets:
— It is required to check rivets,remove all the loose, cracked or deformed rivets
(deformation of rivet bars).
— Care should be taken to avoid inducing of cracking and elongation of hole, and any
defected rivets can be taken down by means of drilling rivet head.
— Generally, the elongated hole shall be re-machined to the next bigger diameter hole
(refer to interference diameter).
— Carefully identify all types of rivets,and also pay attention to their positions in
related parts (for this end,the riveting joint to be completed can be printed
punched paper tape using different diameter types of rivets at position located).
— When the repair can be carried on aircraft (when carrying out repair without fixture
is feasible, or when repairing a non-critical area),the quantity all rivets previously
given should meat the requirements the reinstalled keeps the part in correct
position,and eliminate the variation caused by released stress.
2.5 Selection of repair material
The material to be used should be the material specified by the aircraft manufacturer,
which can be referred to the chapter-section of Material Identification in the Repair
Manual of each aircraft involved.
2.6 Selection of riveting mode
Repair should be often in such a way:The existing rivet pitches and edge distance should
be just properly reused (number of rows, quantity of rivets, pitches and edge distance) In
this case; only the diameter and type of rivet can be changed. If rivet is elongated or
deformed due to removal, then in most of cases, it is required to select next bigger
diameter rivet of the same type.
3 General Description on Hole Enlarging and Bolt Oversizing
The various accidents happened in flight and fatigue destruction added due to that cause
frequent increase of repair scope.
3.1 Use of oversized broaching
1) Connect a new part to structural member to be repaired:Systematically use the next
bigger oversizing.

20-03-01-101
Jul. 15/2010 Page 2
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

2) Two existing parts are connected to each other:Only use the original dimensions.
3) Connection of structural members that are removed for repair:Only under a case that
there is defect that needs to enlarge hole, use the oversizing. It is required to be as
much as possible to control this kind of use.
4) Drilling limits:It shall be limited to within the maximum allowable reaming diameter.
3.1.1 Quality of enlarged hole and allowed defects (see detail A in Fig.1)
— Under the most cases that tight fit tolerance bolts are used for connection,hole is
grade H7,bolt grade,and the actual operation, this is in compliance with tight fit
(assembling is performed using hammer),and for this end, reaming tolerance of
grade H7 is needed for repair.
— For thick or solid holes on A-U4G20(7A),or A-U4G1(2024),some marks and defect
A,such as sand blast hot mark and reamer marks are allowed provided they can
meet the following requirements.
a) The depth “h” of ideal enlarged hole on a part should be at least equal to “D”
(maximum approved broaching diameter).
b) Defects shown should be free from longitudinal scratches; otherwise, they should be
removed.
c) In any cases,maximum elongation or defect diameter “D1” both should not exceed
the 11% of ideal enlarged hole diameter “D” .
Note: In case two parts of the same material with assembling thickness “e” and “e1”,
“h” should be only equal to “e”,as the sand blast stress of reliable broaching
section on the part (2) is at least equal to the sand blast stress of part (1).
3.2 Use oversized bolts
1) Two solutions can be use:
—Tightly fit the liner into oversized bore.
—Use oversized bolts in staggered way.
Note:
— Table 1 specifies the service limit values for the oversized bolts R1, R2, R3 and R4.

Important note:Oversizing is applicable to polish rod portion

Note: In order to maintain the service life of each aircraft and its special connecting parts,
it is recommended that only when absolutely necessary, oversizing of screw and
bolt (R1, R2, R3 and R4) can be used. When the repair involves the connection of
interchangeable parts, based on requirement provided by the chapter “General” in the
“Repair Manual” of specific aircraft,the oversizing can not be used.
— It is possible for a higher value of oversized R2, R3 and R4,but careful study is required
and it should be approved by the engineering department of the manufacturer.
2) The first solution is to maintain nominal diameter of bolt should make it usable every
time, so that whenever the repair involves the connection of interchangeable part, this
type of repair can be used in every kind of parts.
3) The second solution is the essential structural part, which has already been discussed, can
only be used in a usable operation. Oversized bolt scheme is specially provided for bolt
connection of structural part with non-removable part which is connected with structural
part. When a liner is not to be fit under exceptional case, this solution can also be used
for the removable part.

METHOD OF RIVET REMOVAL

1 Method of Rivet Removal


It is recommended to use a simple and practical method of rivet removal,so that rivet can
be correctly removed, and try as much as possible to prevent the existing rivet holes being
oversized.
1.1 The first method (see detail A in Fig.1)
1 —The first procedure:
Use drill bit (2) 2/10mm smaller than the rivet diameter to drill a hole on rivet head (1) ,
and use a mobile guide piece (3) fixed on drill bit head for centering.
2 —The second procedure:
Use the steel punching head (1) and rivet support block (2) to withdraw rivet.
1.2 The second method (see detail B in Fig.1)
1 — It fails to withdraw rivet according to the first method.
2 — The first procedure:
Use drill bit (1) 4/10mm smaller than the rivet diameter to drill a hole on rivet bar, the
depth of drilled hole shall be equal to depth of rivet.
3 — The second procedure:
Use steel punching head (2) and rivet support block (3) to withdraw rivet.
Note: These rivet removal methods are applicable to standard, single side and screw
rivets.

GENERAL PRINCIPLE FOR RIVET REPLACEMENT

1 General
In order to perform repair which is not specified in the Structure Repair Manual, the rivet
type can be determined as described in the following:
Countersunk rivet with given original diameter or common head rivet should be replaced by
the same type but next big diameter i.e. called as “oversized” rivet.
However, if repairmen are able to effectively complete removal of actual rivet, that is, draw
out rivet under condition of not oversize the existing rivet hole, then repair of rivet can be
done using the rivet with the same diameter as that of original rivet.
This method can not be used in all kinds of repairs, but it has a special meaning in the
interchangeable assembly, where small diameter rivet can be used to reach the assembling
of additional part in the original structure.
As for replacement of 100° countersunk rivet on stamping sheet, repairmen should refer to
20-03-05-403 in Standard Practices Manual, including several types of typical repairs.
Flat head rivet can be replaced using single side rivet if required.

REPLACEMENT AND REINSTALLATION OF ANCHOR NUT

1 General
In some repair process, operator is generally required to replace and reinstall various anchor
nuts installed at different positions (to install removable metal plates, sectionalized member,
access cover and supports, etc.).
As it is unlikely to cover all the possible repair forms, so the following examples will only
describe the general repair principle.
Note: In any cases, the number of nuts that must be reinstalled is not allowed to exceed
20% of total amount of nuts in the area to be repaired (as the original screw hole is
elongated).
For certain reason, number of nuts that must be replaced has exceeded the given percentage,
and then the backing strip must be used.
If backing strip is used, then the quantity of anchor nuts to be newly installed will not be
limited.

REPAIR OF DAMAGED THREADS

1 Repair of Damaged Threads with Threaded Bush


Caution: For the critical components, this repair method needs to be approved by
manufacturer in advance.
1.1 General
This kind of method is to use a threaded bush inserted piece to replace a damaged thread.
As an advantage,it recovers original dimensions and tolerance of thread using a simple
and cheap method, as a result, to enlarge the dimensions of bolts,stud bolt and the like
can be avoided and prolong the time between overhaul of the repaired assembly.
1.2 Description on HELI-COIL threaded bush
1.2.1 Free threaded bush (see detail A in Fig.1.)
The threaded bush is of a stainless steel or cadmium plated phosphor-bronze metal wire
toothed spring appearance, of which the cross section is like diamond, thus forming a
male thread used for fitting in the part, and a female thread used for fitting the screw.
The threaded bush is inserted into a thread cut hole via its fork tip (1),and it has the
first turn (2) with a diameter of relatively small,on which the groove (3) is enable the
fork tip to be cut in the through hole,so that the screw can freely pass through the
hole .
There are two kinds of threaded bushes:
— Standard bush as mentioned above.
— Self-locking bush , which is equivalent to standard bush in principle and
characteristics. It is that one or several torsion rings (4) are included in a standard
bush,and generally it is located at the height of mid thread,and it is sure that the
double lock is arranged on the side of tap thread and on the side of screw. This kind
of thread shall be marked in red,so that it can be visually distinguished from the
standard thread.
1.2.2 Installation of threaded bush (see detail B in Fig.1
A threaded bush can be installed in a through hole (a) or blind hole (b).
Definition of threaded bush that has been installed:
— E:Basic length (the basic length of threaded bush shall be in compliance with the
minimum effective tapped length or minimum thickness of a part, which is denoted
by the multiple of standard diameter D).
— L:Installed length of threaded bush
— R:Maximum length engaged screw in thread (fork tip is uncut - as for the blind
hole).
— S:Depth of hole (if the screwdriver includes 2 or 4 thread pitch inlet chamfers, then
depth is different).

1.3 Requirements for installation


It is recommended to use phosphor-bronze bushing. The possibility of installation depends
on holding an effective open surface area around the hole to be repaired.
To fit the threaded bush,a special tool is required,which should vary with diameter of
bushing to be assembled. For a proper operation,the following tools are required.
—One standard tool with mandrel,or one standard tool with pre-wound insert piece.
— One manual fork tip cutting tool.
— Special screwdriver (see page 15 of Z9-J standard-21)
1.4 Installation of threaded bush
1) Drill a lead hole according to the required diameter.
2) Use the screwdriver in compliance with the bushing to be installed for tapping.
3) Use tool to lead in threaded bush:
— The grooved is applicable to through-hole

1.2 Cleaning up the scores (see Item 1 in Fig.1)
— Use water proof abrasive paper (select grit 280 or 400 depending on degree of scores)
to sand the scores. The abrasive paper should be wrapped on the wood block covered
with soft flannelette, or wrapped on the hard rubber block in operation.
— After cleaning up completely the scores, use 600# grit water proof abrasive paper for
sanding,and in sanding, it is required to enlarge the remachining area and in cross 90°
with direction of scores .
— With absorbent cotton medical grade A),or cotton flannelette applied with Plexiglas
polishing compound,polish Plexiglas surface in circular motion mode or in alternate
directions. In the polishing operation, the Plexiglas should always be kept wet,and
after it is polished to the required transparency,wipe clean residual polishing
compound using a clean soft flannelette.
1.3 Repairing cracks
1.3.1 Drilling crack-arrest hole (see Item 2 in Fig.1)
— Drill a crack-arrest hole with diameter of 3mm at the end of crack.
— For star shaped crack,likely, drill a crack-arrest hole at the end of each crack.
1.3.2 Use a proper Plexiglas stiffening plate to repair cracks (see Item 3 in Fig.1)
— Drill a crack-arrest hole at the end of crack.
— From a Plexiglas sheet, cut a sticking patching that can cover cracked area.
— Heat the sticking patch in heating box to 20 -140℃,and form as per the appearance
of the repairing position.
— Cooling the sticking patch, the formed plate should be slowly and uniformly cooled
in die, until temperature of part surface drops to 40℃ and below.
— The bonding surface must be wiped using clean absorbent cotton dipped with patrol
(120#),or use 3~5% neutral soap water for cleaning. Finally rinse with clean
water and dry it.
— Uniformly apply a acrylic resin glue (SYT-1, etc),or Plexiglas adhesive agent to
each bonding surface. It is required to try as much as possible to shorten the glue
applying time to prevent formation of air bubbles or foams. The glued surface
should be held for a period of time under temperature of 20-25℃,so that the
adhesive agent can reach a appropriate thickness and without loosing viscosity.
— Fit the sticking patch in a repair area,and lightly apply pressure until the proper
adhesive force is obtained.

REMOVAL OF SCRATCHES USING ABRASION


POLISHING METHOD

1 Removal of Scratches Using Abrasion Polishing Method


1.1 General
The main point of the burnishing is s surface cold work which produces compression
stress. The burnishing is to use a very hard and unsharp tool to pressurize the edges to be
polished to perform cold working,i.e. burnish working.
1.2 Purpose
Burnishing can be use to remove scratches on skin board,or used to improve the fatigue
strength of part edges due to machining (e.g. countersunk hole or non-countersunk hole
with diameter of 14mm and below 14mm,and for the holes with diameter of exceeding
14mm,spot face fillet of hole root,bore hole chamfer ).
1.3 Precautions to be taken
The burnisher should not be pressed to much to prevent occurrence of burrs to indicate
cold work coefficient has exceeded the allowable limit,because under this condition,the
effect of burnishing is destroyed.
Keep the burnisher and parts free from dust,metal chips or pollution of any lapping agent.
Never work nearby the emery wheel. When conducting burnishing with burnisher,eyes
should always watch the burnisher,and keep it clean. Use compressed air to clean up and
sand blast holes to be burnished,remove any metal chips or debris.
1.4 Removal of scratches on light alloy skin boards
1.4.1 General
The so called surface defect refers to scratches and indentation on various parts in
contact with skin boards.
1.4.2 Method to remove scratches (see detail A in Fig.1)
It is recommended that the tool to be used is a 40mm diameter circle made of 4mm
chromium plated (1) burnisher handle (2), .
Caution: It is prohibited to use emery cloth, scraper or other methods related to
the cutting.
1.4.3 Operation of burnishing (see detail B in Fig.1)
— For convenience of sliding of the tool,apply grease to the surface to be reprocessed.
— Operate burnisher along the longitudinal direction of scratches,so as to burnish the
cold worked (1) bottom.
— Carry out this work on either side of the scratch,so as to smooth the scotched
surface (2),thus forming a cold working area (3).
1.4.4 Refined surface parts

20-03-05-402
Jul. 15/2010 Page 1
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

— After burnished,use trichloroethylene to clean grease of surface to be reprocessed.


The treated area by using this kind of method will be glossy and slightly in black.
— burnisher marks can be removed using polishing agent and according to the
treatment method specified in task card 20-04-03-403 in Standard Practices Manual.
1.5 Removal of scratches on parts with rough edges (see Fig.2)
The manual burnisher (1, 2) is made of 16NCD-13 steel by lathe,and it is subject to light
polishing,surface hardening,quenching,re-polishing,and chromium plating. It can also
be made of nitrated steel.
Straight manual burnisher (1) has headers with diameter of 2 mm, 3mm or 4mm.

The bent hand burnisher (2) has a 4mm diameter header.


Burnisher (3) mounted on machine is straight rod with semispherical end. The diameter of
end should fit in with diameter of hole.
Actually the operational check is always a visual check,because the burnishing will
generate a particularly smooth surface
Relationship between “D” diameter value and hole diameter

“D” Countersunk hole
5 6 7 9 11 14 16
(90°,100°,120°

1.6 Operation pf burnisher mounted on the machine.


This type of burnisher is widely used for countersunk hole or non-countersunk hole.
The burnisher can be installed on either fixed machine or on a hand drill.
In any cases,the rotating speed shall not exceed 150 rpm,because the burnishing is short
operation,about 10 turns are sufficient, which is equivalent to a rotating speed 150 rpm
for 4 seconds. In order to use the hand drill for burnishing,never hold the hand drill at
standstill along the hole axle,but on contrary, provide a circumferential movement in low
amplitude while lightly pressing it.
After completion of burnishing by machine, sharp edges are become chamfer of 2/10 to
3/10mm.
Note: Never burnish a dry surface; it is required to lubricate using a plain lubricant.

chiseling, the complete patch weld of the weld seam is only allowed for one time;
• Allowable local repair of weld seam;
After complete patch weld of the weld seam: once
Under other conditions: twice;
• The repair should be always performed with filler metal T1G welding as specified in
Article 1.3 of 20-02-05-402 in this manual.
• If required, it is compulsory to observe the sequence of welding;
• At any time of operation, it is required to use flame for a proper heating;
• Never weld on clamping part with stress;
• Any weld for repair must be performed by technical workers.
1.2 Typical repair of tubular structure
— The repair may involve:
• Reprocessing of deposition weld bead so as to complete the tightness;
• Replacement of tube element, joint, assembly;
• Filling of long hole;
• The final means is to completely patch weld bead.
1.2.1 Reprocessing of deposition weld bead
The reprocessing of actual allowable deposition weld bead is twice.
1.2.2 Replacement of tube element, fork arm part, assembly (Fig.1detailA-B-C)
If this assembling is not classified as “Submission of Structure Member to
Manufacturer for Approval”, then the replacement of tube elements that affect the fork
arm parts or connecting parts and interchangeability of assembly should be carried out
in the workshop of having tools and assembling fixtures which are required to ensure
the interchangeability and dimensions.
These areas are provided in the Structure Repair Manual of relevant aircraft.

1.2.3 Filling of hole
This work can be conducted twice. Pipe filling can only be performed in the workshop
of having the tools are required for reaming and maintain the interchangeable
dimensions.
1.2.4 Complete recovery of weld seam
— This kind of repair can only be performed in case the other solutions can not be used.
The weld seam can only be in a special workshop and only one repair can be made in
the original place (generally, it is recommended to stagger the first weld seam and the
second weld seam by 4mm).
— Therefore, it is necessary first to carry out the following procedures:
• Use a saw to cut the pipe to be replaced due to overdeformation;
• Straighten the pipe which is sunk within the limits of tolerance;
• It is required to consider beforehand the repair solution to be used so as to avoid
cutting the pipes without thinking;
• Sprayed metal coating is to be removed before welding.

REPAIR OF NON-SLIPPING COVER

1 General
Safety traveling non-slipping cover including:
— Strutting piece made of fiber cloth or aluminum
— Phenolic resin coat
— Electronic silicon carbide particles covered with phenolic resin coating.
Fiber strutting piece can be pre-bonded.
Under this condition, use a blue nylon protective cover for covering.
Aluminum strutting piece shall always be pre-bonded and be protected by a colored kraft
coated with silicon resin.
1.1 Two types of anti-slip covers
The anti-slip type shall be decided by intrinsic quality of strutting piece of receiving the
electronic silicon carbide particles.
Fiber strutting piece: Normal type
Aluminum strutting piece: Formable type
1.1.1 Normal type
No matter that is pre-bonded or not,the normal type will be used for plane or slightly
curled single camber. The fact proves that if curled,fiber strutting piece is very hard
and brittle.
The non pre-bonded anti-slip type is marked with letters “Medium tyPe A” (middle
sized A) on side of fiber.
1.1.2 Formable type
As it is the aluminum strutting piece,so this kind of anti-slip type can be easily formed
at cambered place,even this camber contour is along several single faces (e.g. in bent).
1.2 Thorough replacement of locally damaged skin
No matter what kind of anti-slip type is used, it should be carried out according to the
following working procedure.
— Cut the damaged portion,and at least one of the four connections should be in the
existing connection on the edge or center part.
— Use a tool blade to cut along the straight flange,pay attention not to damage skin panel
under the cover, and cut off the part to be replaced.
— Use a cloth dipped with methylbenzene to clean skin panel to remove sticker.
— Cut a safe traveling anti-slip plate according to the size of damage portion:Locate the
plate, take corresponding steps, cut and punch as required
Note: The anti-slip type provided under pre-bonded condition in this stage is not required

20-03-08-401
Jul. 15/2010 Page 1
Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd
Z9 Helicopter Standard Practices Manual

to be coated with adhesives,strutting piece is only required to be adhered in this


kind of condition.
— Apply EC 870 or EC 711 adhesive to the cover and skin panel, until the adhesive film
is dried to the extent that is not stuck to fingers, and when lightly touched, its adhesive
performance shall be maintained (the dry time is about 15min).
— Install the anti-slip cover and compress it so that each point can be properly adhered.
Note: If an anti-slip cover is used on plane,carefully press out the air that is possibly
existed between strutting piece and anti-slip cover from one end. If anti-slip part is
used on camber,press outward from the center to prevent any air bubbles from
occurring.
As for formable anti-slip piece,it is required to use a rubber hammer to lightly hit its
surface outward from the center.
— During polymerization, it is required to use a special device to fix anti-slip cover in
position so that the maximum surface can be adhered.
— Use methylbenzene to clean extra adhesive immediately.
